Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Murong Jiu was not pretentious.

It was a matter of life and death, and she had no time to think about the defense between men and women, not to mention that Senior Brother Cheng had taken good care of her like an elder brother in the early years.

Senior Brother Cheng seemed to be thin, but that was because he was not strong enough in the womb, and it was hard for him to gain more meat no matter what he ate. But he was not as weak as he appeared in front of Mo Yu. After he went out, he kicked over the idle guy who wanted to stop him. Li Tiezhu quickly entered the back mountain with her on his back.

Senior Brother Cheng went to the mountains to collect herbs all year round and was familiar with the conditions in the mountains, so he took her deep into the mountains.

Murong Jiu's condition was not very good and she fell asleep several times on his back.

During this period, Brother Cheng found wild fruits to add sugar and water to her.

She ate heartbroken grass. She should not eat anything that is difficult to digest. Her stomach could not bear it.

When she was sober, Senior Brother Cheng talked to her a lot. It turned out that her guess was right. Senior Brother Cheng did receive the letter from Master, but it took a long time to get it. He trained the carrier pigeon to fly several times, and finally met her. The master got in touch, but when he received a letter from the master again, he learned about Ah Jiu's disappearance.

"Your husband is very smart. He actually guessed that the fourth prince's route was to the Western Region, and asked me to pay attention to abnormal situations. So when the woman in black found me in the middle of the night, my first hunch was that you were in her hands. superior."

Brother Cheng also praised her for her intelligence. If she hadn't taken the heartbroken grass immediately, Mo Yu would definitely not have left her in the village to find a doctor.

When Murong Jiu learned that the prince should be fine, he breathed a long sigh of relief with a smile on his face: "Thanks to my senior brother for cooperating with me, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take the two Yitiantian antidote."

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Cheng's face became solemn.

"Ajiu, you still need the last antidote. It's a pity that I couldn't poison that black jade, otherwise I might be able to find the last antidote."

He was still too cautious. He was afraid that Ah Jiu wouldn't be able to take the antidote, so he didn't dare to be cruel to Mo Yu. He was also worried that Mo Yu had hidden the antidote somewhere where they couldn't find it. Although it could kill Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu couldn't kill him. What to do with the poison of Jiuyitian?

Murong Jiu shook his head: "The final antidote cannot be with her. According to the last time of the poison's onset, Mo Yu must have taken me to the Western Region. With the caution of the fourth prince, how could he put all the eggs in one basket?"

Mo Yu was traveling so fast that the soldiers' riding speed to deliver battle reports might not be able to catch up with her.

If she didn't eat Broken Heart Grass along the way and continued on her way at this speed, Mo Yu would be able to take her into the Western Region in three days at most.

Brother Cheng frowned, said nothing, and carried her further into the mountains.

He was too useless and didn't know how to detoxify Yixiantian, so he might as well say nothing and let Ajiu have a good rest.

Ah Jiu has been running around with Mo Yu for so many days. When the ropes on his hands and feet were untied, his flesh and blood were embedded in him. Fortunately, the temperature was not high, otherwise it would rot and produce maggots.

She had vomited so much blood again, and what she needed most now was to recuperate.

Senior Brother Cheng didn't know if he could escape the pursuit. There were no outsiders in the town yesterday. Maybe Mo Yu couldn't find reinforcements, but no one knew how many things would happen in one night. Reinforcements might have arrived, but it wasn't certain. .

He used some kind of incense from the Western Regions for Mo Yu. It smelled like green herbs and could make people lose all their internal energy, but it didn't last long. The other person would recover within two hours at most.

He could only hope that Mo Yu could not find reinforcements. In this way, they would have two more hours to escape. In addition, Mo Yu injured an eye, and his ability would be greatly weakened.

It was already daylight.

Murong Jiu rested on Senior Brother Cheng's back for almost two hours. She felt that she had regained her energy and strength, so she asked Senior Brother Cheng to put her down quickly so that she could walk on her own.

"Senior brother, please let me come down quickly. Don't let your physical strength fail to keep up in the end. By then, the two of us will become someone else's prey."

she joked.

<divclass="contentadv">Senior Brother Cheng put her down with a smile and found a branch for her to use as a crutch, so that she could relax.

The two ate some wild fruits and continued on their way.

This is an endless mountain range, full of thorns, and it is difficult to walk until you start walking. But Senior Brother Cheng is very experienced. He tied long boots made of grass and rattan tightly around his legs, and his robe was wrapped around his waist and tied in knots. Nor will the thorns scratch my clothes and cut my legs.

He did the same to Murong Jiu, and the two of them helped each other on their way.

This walk brought us to the evening of that day.

The two of them had already entered an inaccessible place deep in the mountains. They could still hear the howling of wild beasts, and the temperature dropped suddenly. The two of them were exhausted and it was not suitable to rush.

"There is a cave ahead. I'll go see if I can rest."

Senior Brother Cheng went to take a look. The cave was quite deep, fairly dry, and there were no wild animals inside. It was a good place to take a rest, which was better than sleeping in the open air.

Murong Jiu didn't care whether it was clean or not, and lay down on the ground.

Her body is too weak now, Mo Yu has tortured her to the point where she barely eats, and she still can't eat anything.

Senior Brother Cheng knows how to trap and hunt himself, but he didn't go. It was obviously impossible to make a fire when he was being hunted.

He took off his outer robe and placed it under Murong Jiu: "It's very damp at night. You can go to sleep. I'll keep watch."

"Let's take turns guarding, senior brother, you should also take a rest. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

"You are not allowed to say such things, senior brother does not like to hear it. When I was almost beaten to death by some beggars, it was you and Master who showed up to save me. I still remember how you were small but very steady at that time. I changed and fed the medicine, and also begged the master to teach me medical skills so that I could be able to feed myself in the future. If it weren't for you and the master, I might have died on that snowy night."

He himself also knew that his talent in medical skills was not high, and he relied solely on hard work to make up for his weakness, rote memorization, and Ah Jiu's original encouragement and help.

He is somewhat famous now and has saved many people, but he has never forgotten his roots and always remembers that Master and Ah Jiu brought him new life.

So even if he takes another risk, he still has to save Ah Jiu, even if it means giving his life.

Murong Jiu thought of the past, when her master took her to travel around the world and met all kinds of people. It was really interesting.

She didn't want to think about troublesome things. In this situation, she could only take one step at a time.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep.

Senior Brother Cheng suddenly woke her up and said, "Ajiu, you quickly hide in the cave. I will cover you with hay. Don't make any sound. When I lead them away, you can run to the southeast again. Prince Ling and Master will definitely We're on the way here, Ah Jiu, keep going forward and don't look back, you know?"

Murong Jiu woke up instantly.

At some point, Senior Brother Cheng went outside to collect a lot of hay, pulled her to the depths of the cave, and blocked her with hay.

"Senior brother, are the pursuers coming? No, you are alone..."

"Ajiu, we don't have time. Don't be afraid. I will find a way to lure everyone away. There is a valley not far ahead. There are tigers in it. I will lead them in and let them fight the tigers. Don't worry. , I’ll be fine.”
